Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The area of triangle acb is
A₁ = (1/2)*20*h = 10h

The area of trapezoid abcd is
A₂ = (1/2)*(20+12)*h = 16h

The ratio A₁/A₂ is
A₁/A₂ = (10h)/(16) = 5/8

Answer:
The ratio of triangle acb to the area of trapezoid abcd is 5/8.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

  • A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²
  • B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio
  • C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — <em>matches problem statement</em>
  • D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

  • w/h = 3/2
  • wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches . . . . matches selection C
